And sure, I wanted it to be quick to prepare, because hey, I was using orzo for a reason: it\u2019s as small as a grain of rice, so it cooks up in no time. But I never expected it to be the best orzo salad recipe ever&#8230;or for it to be one of my favorite side dishes of all time. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Minted-Orzo-Salad-with-Feta-and-Chickpeas-2.jpg\" alt=\"Minted Orzo Salad Recipe with Chickpeas and Feta Cheese - this deliciously easy vegetarian side dish is my most requested!

Or maybe the creamy cool feta cheese. It could be the bright and zingy lemon vinaigrette that the orzo gets tossed with to give it a real freshness. It\u2019s too hard to choose. To bump up the protein, I added chickpeas, and to perk up the texture, I threw in crispy-crunchy red onion and celery. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Make Minted Orzo Salad with Feta and Chickpeas &#8211; Step By Step <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Boil the orzo in the chicken broth until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.<\/li><li>Combine the orzo with the chickpeas, feta, red onion, celery, basil, and mint in a large bowl.<\/li><li>Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a blender and pulse until well combined and emulsified. Pour over the orzo salad and toss to coat. Let stand for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend before serving at room temperature or even chilled.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Best Orzo Salad Recipe!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Everyone who ate this minted orzo salad with chickpeas and feta raved about it! For a salad that requires so little cooking\/prep time, taste greats hot or cold, and works even better when you make it ahead of time, you can\u2019t go wrong here. Next time you want a sure-fire win for a potluck, just boil up some orzo in chicken broth (instant flavor booster!), whisk up the simple lemon vinaigrette, and toss it all with mint, feta, and a few other fresh ingredients! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top Tips For Minted Orzo Salad with Feta and Chickpeas. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make sure to drain and rinse the chickpeas.<\/li><li>When cooking orzo, you do not need to add&nbsp;cooking&nbsp;oil to the pasta water; adding oil prevents sauces and seasonings from&nbsp;adhering&nbsp;to the&nbsp;orzo.<\/li><li>After cooking the orzo, let it cool slightly before combining with the rest of the ingredients. <\/li><li>Let the salad stand for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Minted-Orzo-Salad-with-Feta-and-Chickpeas-3.jpg\" alt=\"Minted Orzo Salad Recipe with Chickpeas and Feta Cheese - this deliciously easy vegetarian side dish is my most requested!
